Welcome to TheShow.OOTPLeagues.Com
TheShow is a premiere online baseball simulation league, utilizing the baseball simulation game, Out of the Park Baseball 11 (OOTP 11). This league has a comprehensive incentive point plan, as well as program to punish teams for improper management. TheShow's front office consists of the Commissioner and 2 Assistants. The league has been around for more than 18 seasons now, beginning well back in the OOTP 5 days. TheShow reset the files to a more modern fileset after 14 seasons under the original files.
TheShow's Commissioner has provided an elaborate website stock full of tools and resources to make managing in this league enjoyable and simple. This website has many features that cannot be found on any other league's site. TheShow also uses AOL's instant messenger as a communication too, as well as the website's built-in Forums and Private Messaging. A listing of all of the GM's contact information can be found on in the GM List module and also can be found in the popup-statistics by moving your mouse over the team logos at the top of the website.
TheShow simulates about 10 or 11 days of the schedule each of 3 nights a week. This allows for one month of the schedule to go by about every week. The games are simmed by the Commissioner at 9 PM (ET) on Sunday night, Tuesday night, and Thursday night. Exports are due before the sim time. The sim schedule is posted on the front page of the website.

2012 AL East Preview
The AL East was home to a great race last year, with the Red Sox taking the division in the last weekend of the year. Tampa Bay represented the division as the wild card winner, and Baltimore led throughout much of the summer but faded in August and September. A down year for the Yankees, but with their talent and history - never count them out. The Blue Jays have some work to do, but have a great deal of interesting talent.
Here's a quick look at each team's offseason changes, in order of last season's finish.
Boston: Added Carlos Beltran in CF, and are adding rookie P Casey Kelly to the rotation. Still have some question marks in their bullpen and are hoping for production from their regulars to advance them to the playoffs.
Tampa Bay: Added SP Elbert and reliever Gonzalez to an already potent pitching staff. They have a great deal of team speed, and some young bats that are capable of getting them into and past the first round this year.
Baltimore: Had a quiet offseason after a surprise 2011 that had them in first place in August. Hoping for a strong year from big 2011 FA acquisition Josh Beckett and development of their youth. May struggle to stay ahead of the Yanks.
NY Yankees: Another team with a quiet offseason, but with the major's highest payroll - they don't have many holes. Good starters, Mariano in the pen, and a lineup anchored by Cano, Teixeira, and A-Rod - they'll be in contention.
Toronto: Made a good Rule V pickup in OF Hindl, and made a swap with the Cubbies to get Derrek Lee. They have a good group of young pitchers that could give them a chance in the competitive race that is the AL East.
Who's going to take the division this year? Will the Yanks get back in the race and slug it out with Boston and Tampa Bay? Can Baltimore or Toronto displace one of the AL's juggernauts? It starts tonight...

Rockies Take One Game Playoff
DENVER, CO (10/11/11)- The final spot for the playoffs was decided tonight in a one-game playoff as the Colorado Rockies sent the Philadelphia Phillies home for the winter in a 7-6 battle.
The Phillies’ Ryan Howard did everything he could to send the team into the post season going 2-for-4, both of his his hits were home runs, and he knocked in four runners but Troy Tulowitzki and Chris Iannetta answered with a home run a piece.
Esmil Rogers (4-5) earned the win for the Rockies, allowing three runs in 6 innings. After walking the lead-off hitter in the seventh, Franklin Morales was brought on but gave up three more runs to let the Phillies close within one run, including Howard’s second home run of the game. Dan Hudson closed out the inning to preserve the lead and the win. Manny Corpas earned his third save of the year, though he did make it interesting for the fans by allowing two hits in the top of the ninth. Travis Wood (8-10) took the lose for the visitors.
“I know the fans were concerned about our closer position since Houston Street was lost late in the year for 9 months,” said Rockies manager Terry Kift. “But Manny showed a lot of grit in getting that last out and we have the utmost confidence in his new role.”
The Rockies now face the NL Eastern Division Champions Atlanta Braves.

Dodgers Clinch playoff spot, starters to sit last sim
A perk of clinching a playoff spot before the last sim is you can rest your starters and the Dodgers will fully take advantage of this benefit. Sitting will be starting pitchers: Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley and Chris Carpenter. From the pen closer Johnathan Broxton and set up man Hong-Chih Kuo will all be getting the sim off. Many of the hitters will also be seeing time on the bench. Among these are CF Matt Kemp, SS Hanley Ramirez, 1B James Loney, C Russell Martin and Andre Ethier. Loney is the only player that could be helped or hurt by sitting. He currently leads the NL in hitting at .354, only .004 ahead of SF Pablo Sandoval.
These changes to the Dodgers typical starters is likely favorable news to the Giants and Rockies who are still in the playoff race and each face the Dodgers this last sim. We apologize ahead of time if it cost someone else a playoff spot. We just have no reason to risk injury for the last 8 games or so.
Another perk is seeing what some of our AAA players can do on the big stage of playing in the majors for a sim. Some players that will be seeing action are SP Mitchell Boggs, SP Carlos Monasterios, MR Henry Rodriquez, MR Dave Johnson and UFA signing MR Jamey Wright. On the hitting side, PCL Triple crown winner LF/1B Andrew Lambo, and LF David Murphy. C John Buck, RF Xavier Nady, SS Rafael Furcal and CF Layne Nix will see an increase from their regular playing time as well. Lambo, Rodriquez and Boggs are the ones we really want to see what they can do the last sim as they well could be up with the parent club from the beginning next season. Lambo as mentioned earlier with the triple crown had a hell of a season at AAA. Where he fits into a crowded OF remains to be seen. He could well end up as trade bait this off-season. Boggs is a righty who could easily be the replacement of Jarrod Washburn if he shows anything between now and the end of spring training. Thus far he has been just a guy. Rodriquez is a power righty that just needs to harness his control to be a real factor in the NL.

Adrian Gonzalez may leave SD, others will
GM Hames Campbell leans back in his chair as the AP and local sports reporters bear down on him like pirahna on a struggling cow.
He sits back up, stretches and sighs heavily as he tells the sad truth.
"We may not be able to get a deal with Adrian, and talks are not headed in the right direction with Garland. I wanted Adrian to stay here for his career but he wants a deal that we may not be able to compromise on, especially with his decline in production this season."
Asked what kind of deal, Campbell stated

Is Dodger James Loney finally getting recognition?
As the LA Dodgers, amidst turmoil in the front office and ownership divorce sail to the best record in the Majors...many would think it is due to Matt Kemp, Kershaw or new additions Hanley Ramirez and Mark Reynolds.
But the man who has stepped up his game the most is 1B James Loney. Always considered a gap hitter more than anything, Loney has found his power stroke this year in Chavez Ravine to the tune of 21 HRs, a career high. His 87 RBI will soon eclipse his career high of 90 and he has a very good chance of getting 100. And he hits where ever he is in the order, regardless if no one is on on base or if they are stacked.
Loney has gone from a slick fielding doubles hitting 1B enigma to the best 1B not named Pujols in the league...and he is doing it at the economical rate of 3.5 mil per season, and if he continues to improve, the Dodgers will be able to take advanatge of that salary for 2 more years, at which time guys like Carpenter, Martin and Furcal should be off the books in order for him to get a raise deserving of what I am sure will be at least 1 MVP award.
